    Gardiner: Remembering Telsa Gwynne
    Mary Gardiner has posted a
    memorial to Telsa Gwynne
    . "Telsa was also a critical inspiration
    to me as an activist: in the early 2000s (and still) it was hugely
    controversial to either believe that open source communities could still
    work if they were more civil (the entire LinuxChix project was partly an
    experiment with that), and even more so to insist that they should
    be. Telsa is the earliest person I can think of who stood up in an open
    source development community and asked it to change its norms in the
    direction of civility.
    " Telsa withdrew from our community some
    years ago, but she will be much missed just the same.

    OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 released
    The openSUSE
    Leap 42.1 release
    is now available. "Version 42.1 is the first
    version of openSUSE Leap that uses source from SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE)
    providing a level of stability that will prove to be unmatched by other
    Linux distributions. Bonding community development and enterprise
    reliability provides more cohesion for the project and its contributor’s
    maintenance updates. openSUSE Leap will benefit from the enterprise
    maintenance effort and will have some of the same packages and updates as
    SLE, which is different from previous openSUSE versions that created
    separate maintenance streams.
    " See this
    June LWN article
    for some background on this new approach to the
    openSUSE distribution.
